PENN Squall® Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel
Lightweight. Powerful. Built for Big Game.
The PENN Squall® Lever Drag 2-Speed is engineered for anglers who demand strength without the extra weight. Featuring a rigid graphite frame and side plates, this reel delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and a lighter feel on the rod—perfect for long days offshore or on the troll. The Quick-Shift™ 2-Speed system lets you instantly switch between high-speed retrieves and low-gear torque, giving you full control whether you’re clearing lines, working baits, or fighting hard-charging fish.
The Squall’s Dura-Drag™ system is the same proven drag technology found in PENN’s International® series, providing smooth, consistent pressure at all settings with no hesitation under heavy load. Rounded out with stainless-steel gears, a forged aluminum spool, and a double-dog anti-reverse system, this reel is built to perform season after season.
